A pack of ready cooked pearl and black quinoa from Alice & Oscars. This was in The Vegan Kind monthly box.

I eat quinoa all the time, it is rich in some really useful nutrients. The thing with quinoa is that it needs flavour otherwise it is pretty bland and that is what we have here. The quinoa is nicely cooked but it does need a dressing or flavour adding of some sort. I tried some warm with a bit of olive oil and a little salt stirred through which was fine, you could also mix a salad dressing through it, if you are having it cold. This saves time in cooking quinoa as you microwave it for 2 minutes, standard dried quinoa usually takes about 20 minutes to cook from scratch.

Each pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Organic. I got mine in the Vegan Kind Box.
